Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a railway basket car for transporting semitrailers wherein at least a part of the surface between the longitudinal side beams of the basket car is missing.
  • railway basket cars provided with a so called pocket are applied for transporting semitrailers during a combined road-railway transport.
  • two kinds of railway basket cars provided with pocket are known.
  • the pocket is a fixed part of the basket car and, accordingly, the trailers should be lifted and placed into the pocket.
  • the semitrailers and some types of the trailers cannot be lifted by a crane because the underframe system is not constructed for that purpose and is not capable to bear the weight of the semitrailer and the load together.
  • Another kind of railway basket cars is provided with a pocket which may be rotated around a shaft.
  • the pocket may be turned to the side of the basket car together with one of its longitudinal side beams. In this position, the trailer or semitrailer can be shifted directly into the pocket.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a railway basket car for transporting semitrailers which is of a rather simple construction, does not need special personnel for operating and which enables semitrailers to be loaded by lifting.
  • the present invention is a railway basket car for transporting semitrailers wherein at least a part of the surface between the longitudinal side beams of the basket car is missing and a basket is arranged between the longitudinal side beams in the missing pad of the surface of the basket car, said basket comprising a bottom part for carrying the semitrailer and two side walls wherein the side walls are provided with means for supporting the basket on the longitudinal side beams of the basket car and with lifting lugs and there are stop and locating elements on the supporting means and/or longitudinal side beams.
  • the pocket may be lifted from the basket car and a truck can push the semitrailer onto the pocket placed on the ground. Then the wheels are fixed against rotation and the semitrailer is switched off the truck. Thereafter the pocket and the semitrailer can be lifted by a crane and placed to the railway basket car.
  • a transverse stop beam between the longitudinal side beams, at least on one side of the basket and the basket may be provided with a rear edge, too
  • the supporting means may be the upper part of the side walls of the basket, being bent outwardly.
  • the supporting means is the lifting lugs itself.
  • Yet another embodiment contains extensions on the side walls of the basket supported by hooks fixed on the longitudinal side beams of the basket car.
  • the basket cars according to the invention enable to load and transport semitrailers which cannot be lifted alone. Such trailers actually are 90-95% of the semitrailers used in Europe nowdays.
  • the construction of the basket car according to the invention is extremely simple and both the production, the use and the maintenance requirements are on the level generally accepted by the railways in Europe.
  • FIG. 1 is a side-view of a railway basket car provided with a basket according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is the top-view of the basket car in FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-section of a side beam of the railway basket car together with a part of the basket showing the supporting means.
  • FIG. 4 is another embodiment of the side supporting means
  • FIG. 5 is a further embodiment of the side supporting means
  • FIG. 6 is yet another embodiment of the supporting means
  • FIGS. 7a through 7d show the steps of loading a semitrailer to the the basket car.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 a railway basket car 1 is shown. Between longitudinal side beams 2 and 3 a surface part of the basket car is missing to constitute a well receiving a basket 4.
  • the basket 4 comprises two side walls 4a, a rear edge 4b and a bottom part 4c. Side walls 4a are provided with lifting lugs 5 which enable craning of the basket 4.
  • Basket 4 is arranged between a transverse stop beam 14 and the rotatable base 15 of basket car 1.
  • the lifting lugs 5 of the basket 4 are positioned by stops 7 and 9 arranged on both sides of the lifting lugs 5, on the longitudinal side beams 2 and 3.
  • FIGS. 3 to 6 Details of the lifting lugs 5 and the locating/stop elements are shown in FIGS. 3 to 6.
  • lifting lug 5 is arranged on an extension 6 of the side wall 4a of basket 4, which is bent outwardly in order to hold basket 4 on the longitudinal side beam 2, as shown in FIG. 3. Extension 6 and lifting lug 5 are positioned in longitudinal direction by stop 7.
  • lifting lug 5 itself is the supporting means of the basket 4.
  • Lifting lug 5 is resting directly on the longitudinal side beam 2 and is positioned in longitudinal direction by stop 9.
  • Central position of the whole basket 4 is held by locating block 8 fixed on the longitudinal side beam 2.
  • locating pin 10a and opening 10b of the lifting lug 5 are used for stopping and locating basket 4.
  • FIG. 6 shows another embodiment wherein longitudinal side beam 2 is provided with a hook 11 supporting extension 12 of the side wall 4a of the basket 4.
  • the locating/stop element is a guide plate 13 arranged on the side wall 4a of the basket 4.
  • the basket car according to the invention may be used as follows.
  • Basket 4 is lifted from the basket car 1 by a crane and is lowered until it lies on the ground, as shown in FIG. 7a.
  • Truck 16 provided with semitrailer 17 is backing up as shown in FIG. 7a until the wheels of semitrailer 17 reach the rear edge 4b of basket 4.
  • FIGS. 7a-7d show that loading of semitrailers to railway basket cars may be carried out quickly and simply according to the invention.
  • Lifting and lowering may be carried out with the usual cranes and the basket will automatically be positioned by the stop and locating elements on the longitudinal side beams and on the side walls of the basket.
